I haven't mentioned LDL once in this thread.. plus it's calculated not measured and is never used in any risk metric so why should anyone care?

The only thing that "lowering" LDL via statins is useful for is generating profits for drugs companies in my opinion.

Ah, ok.
Thanks for clearing that up, and your previous comments.
Did someone mention statins, I missed that?

No I introduced satins as an example of how the pharmaceutical industry has lied to us all.
